Re: Squile resurrected

[Peter C. Norton]

Its a bad name unless you have as a design goal a general sql interface.  I
would, for instance, like to see gnome-db wrapped by guile and have that
called guile-sql (and I don't mean the gui part, but the bits that do the
database connectivity and querying).

In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
